Go ahead and give it a try. I don't think it could hurt anything. Try
one, see if it extracts and you will know.

I'll try it next time I'm at the range. It for sure won't hurt that damn .357 on a .44 magnum frame!
If the extractor won't get the empty shells out, a punch will do the trick.

It wouldn't hurt a Chief. Any .38 special is far stronger than the
.38SWs SAMMI makes them load down to.
I looked at a couple typical 38SW loadings and they are talking about
148 gr bullet at around 650 FPS.
My low power wadcutters went faster than that.

Yup. These are 146 grain, lead, 685 fps from what I can find. Not much difference.
